Consider the statement: For all integers a, b, and c, if alb and blc then alc. The statement is false because it is impossible for an integer to be a divisor and a multiple at the same time! The statement is true and it shows the transitivity property of divisibility The statement is true and we can prove it by this example: 3112 and 12|36, therefore 3136 The statement is false. We can provide a counter example
